Applying for Graduation
Students who plan to graduate with an associate, baccalaureate or masters degree need to file an application for graduation the semester before they expect to graduate.
It is important for students to start this process the semester before they expect to graduate so that a preliminary check can be made to determine that all degree requirements will have been completed by the expected graduation term (and to resolve any deficiencies that would delay graduation).
Students receiving a double degree (ex. B.S. and B.S.B.A.) must complete a graduation application for each program. Students receiving a double major (ex. B.S. in Biology and B.S. in Chemistry) only need to complete one graduation application with signatures from both departments.

Candidates for graduation should print a degree audit from their iClarion portal. The degree audit should be attached to the completed application and routed as follows:
- Student to Advisor
- Advisor to department chairperson of minor (if appropriate)
- Department chairperson of minor to department chairperson of major
- Chairperson to College Dean
- College Dean to Graduate Dean (graduate students only)
- Dean to Office of the Registrar
Filing an application the semester before graduation also provides adequate time for routing the application through the approval process and assures that students will receive appropriate information about the commencement ceremony (academic attire, the program, tickets etc).
The graduation fee is assessed on your student bill when you reach a specific cumulative credit hour total depending on your program.
Diplomas will be mailed to students who have been cleared for graduation approximately four weeks after they are processed.
